Zhao An never expected that the Education Commissioner, Hu Gaowang, would one day become the teacher of the future Emperor Jiaqing. It was truly a case of the flood destroying the Dragon King’s temple—a misunderstanding among kin!
Although he, "Zhao Youlu," had been promoted by the Old Ancestor, deep down, he still stood on the side of Prince Jia. After all, it was the name of Prince Jia that was hidden behind the "Righteous and Bright" plaque. It was impossible to find a ladder and swap the names. Theoretically, it wasn't even an option, as Jiaqing’s succession was an abdication granted by the Old Ancestor while still alive, rather than a name chosen by ministers after a death. Had it been the latter, the ministers might have altered the choice on the spot. Since Jiaqing was the predetermined heir, Zhao An had always intended to help him purge He Shen later on and settle his own accounts in the process. Who would have thought that before he even caught a glimpse of Jiaqing, he would be reduced to such a pathetic state by his own elementary school teacher? It was an injustice—a true, stinging injustice.
